The New York Mets enter their ninth game of the season against the Washington Nationals with some positives to build on. They are one of the leaders in the National League averaging around 6 runs per game through the first week of the 2019 major league regular season. This team has also gotten nine or more hits in 6 of their first 8 games to start this year and are currently in first place in the NL East. Despite these positives to build on, one glaring red flag in their offense is the number of strikeouts they have racked up as a team.
